GEN. eUTlER'S ADVICE.
A Practical Talk to Some of the Young
LAWYERS of Boston.

A Practical Talk to Some of the Young
Lawyers of Boston.
Gen. B. F. Butler gave the embryo lawyers
of Boston university some very interesting
advice the other day. deduced from the ex-
perience of forty seven years in the practice
of law. He talked to them nearly two hours,
and his remarks were at once curious, practl-
cal and instructive.
"The first duty of the young lawyer" said
Gen. Butler, lis absolute fidelity to ones
client. The lawyer is the advisor and director
of his client in all his business affairs. You
are to do for him as he would do for himself
did he possess your learning and talents
Some say, oh, you must not defend guilty
man. Why not? Would he not defend him
self? You must defend him as fully and
honorably as if you knew him innocent. IL
Won know him innocent it often units even
the strongest man for the task of defense. L
never wish to defend man unless l know he
is guilty. Be sure that you find out that he
is guilty. Some men dislike to confess their
crime to the lawyer for fear that then he VIII
not care to undertake the case. You must
establish feeling of confidence in such. Let
them know that you must have all the facts
Never allow Yourself to state to the jury that
your client is innocent. 1t is your business to
act rs though it were so. If you know moth
ing about the circumstances you are ike an
ass jumping around in a tan yard and not
knowing where the pits are. Again, never
bargain with your clients. Get your fees and
get them early. If the case fails you then
will find it somewhat difficult to collect fees
AZ lawyer is called in to make Will by
the son Of dying man. He is the counsel OF
the dying man only. Again, very frequently
| a man about dying wants you for executor.
Never intrude yourself upon HIM, but have
| some other member of the family made CO.
executor with you, and you will save your
| self q world of trouble. And while tell you
| to do this don't think you will lose anything
| by SO doing, as you have all the work and all
| the emoluments that fairly belong to you
"And you must not lose your first cases,
| for you will be employed for the plaintiff
| defendants don't employ young lawyers 1
| lose three cases now where lost one at 70
wears of age. Now come in for old cases,
| cases that have been tried and retired, that
| are in all conditions, after the client Is dead
| and buried and the hearse put up to roost. In
your professional conduct with your asso-
ciates be upon proper footing Of honorable
| conduct and let your professional brothers
understand your honor. My rule IS to keep
nv verbal agreement with my associates as
| they understand it, but when man asks me
to sign l always try to get around it."-BoS-

DEMOCRACY.
The Democrats Met in Saratoga Yes
terday to Arrange for the Fight.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 27.-The day
opened cool and foggy, but with promise
of sun and warmth later. The summer
visitors have all fed and the Democracy
literally have possession of the town. There
Is scarcely a lady to be seen on the streets.
Saratoga today presents a rather marked
contrast to the Saratoga of two weeks ago.
Then the crowd seemed to be more or less
poverty stricken and 1t was openly asserted
that the one day convention was due to that
fact Today the opposite is the truth.
Silk hat, cigar, gold watch and chain are
everywhere evidence of money enough,
and willingness TO spend it are apparent on
all hands. Two weeks ago not single
band of music was in town except a small
orchestra as hotel attractions. Today
there are dozens. /.
At 10 o'clock thirty delegations from
Troy, Albany and other places near at
hand came marching through the town,
with escort headed by a splendid band.
The convention met In Casino rink and
at half past IL the gavel fell and ID.
Cady Herrick called the convention to
order and nominated Hon. George Raines
temporary chairman. The motion was
carried unanimously. He was received
with applause and when 1t subsidized ne ad
dressed the convention.
His illusions to Hill and Cleveland were
greeted with applause and somebody called
for three cheers for Hill but they were not
given. His condemnation of foreign pro.
prietorship of land and allusion to General
Grant were also applauded. The chair
ruled that all contests must be referred to
the committee on credentials. Calling OF
the roll was then commenced, and names
of prominent men were loudly cheered as
they were read. The roll call developed
many contested seats most Of which have
already been made public. The committee
on resolutions. credentials and permanent
organization were then announced.
A resolution was offered as follows:
Resolved, That laws Of assessment and
taxation should be readjusted and referred
so that all property shall ratably share in
support of government and relieve
kindred pursuits from disproportionate
burdens imposed under present laws, and
that national legislation should be modified
and amended so that agriculture shall no
longer be embarrassed or impaired by I'M
wise discrimination.
The convention then took recess I'LL 8
O'Clock this evening.

CAPITAL BUDGET.
SMALL. SALES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-There was a
decided falling off today in the sale of
bonds TO the government under the terms
of the treasury circular of the 22d instant,
which fact the treasury officials attribute
somewhat to the great interest taken by the
business community in the international
Yacht race at New York. There is very
little doubt of the governments ability to
secure the $14, 100000 bonds required for
the sinking fund within the time
prescribed by the circular, October
9Th. Over IS, 600, 900 of the amount has
already been secured within five days and
there is less than $6,000,000 to be pur-
chased within the remaining ten days. The
total offerings today were SLY $50. OF
which amount 1886 500 were four and a
half per cents and S151 $50 four per cents.
